I wonder how we will get out of this mess… the public confidence in government that is necessary for a healthy democracy seems to be at a virtual zero. The international cooperation necessary for a healthy world is gone. Will any of the Trump supporters believe any of the evidence against Trump.
It gets harder and harder the longer he has the Bullshit Pulpit to keep braying “Fake News!”. In the midst of all the rest that’s going on, this is an extremely key piece of evidence in the case against him for obstruction.
We’ll get out of it by voting better people into government (read Democrats). Public confidence will return as justice is meted out to the thieves and liars who’ve taken over the reins these last years. Seeing Donald Trump in chains will do the public confidence a world of good. As for his supporters, they were idiots before he came along and they’ll still be idiots when he’s cooling his heels at Guantanamo Bay. They will marginalize themselves by their actions. And the adults can get back to the business of running the country. And needing a strong and measured America the rest of the world will breathe a sigh of relief.
Not to mention global confidence in American ability to do the right thing – after trying everything else.
Let’s just hope our country maintains an evidence-based bubble in the courts long enough to get through this.
Mueller is clearly making his case ironclad and obvious.
Don’t forget the recordings of Flynn talking to the Russians. The transcripts are out there, but they are not public. My guess is that it all adds up to the case against Trump, for the coverup, and likely the conspiracy. Mueller has been following up on every angle, and when it all drops, it will be comprehensive and damning.
Now that we can add Boente’s notes to Comey’s, I hope Trump woke up in a cold sweat this morning, realizing that they probably aren’t the only ones with notes, and he may be more painfully fked than he’s ever been.
There can’t be a single non-family person associated with Trump who didn’t figure out early on that they would need to document -on a contemporaneous basis - pretty much all of their interaction with him.
The Republican Party is the only overtly anti-government party in the developed world; and this is why. It’s an extremely effective tactic for overthrowing a democracy. Especially with the propaganda weapons at their disposal.
You take autocratic, xenophobic impulses and inflame them. It works.
Let’s also not forget Trump the day Obama imposed sanctions stating that he believed Putin would not retaliate tit for tat because Putin was too smart and understood that Trump would repeal the sanctions as soon as he took office. Flynn was not doing this on his own, this was discussed in the Trump Inner Circle and Transition Team, both before Obama imposed the sanctions, and after. Trump actually thought he was going to waltz in, repeal the sanctions, and then suppress any investigation whatsoever of his collaboration and collusion with Russian Intelligence and oligarchs.
Boente is rapidly becoming the man in the center of this investigation. He is not a target but a witness with actual documentation that perjures the livin’ shyt out of the Dotard. MSM needs to seriously focus on this man.
